In what universe was this okay to say?!?!?!?!

So my husband and I go to this bar/restaurant every week for their fish fry for the past three years. I was pregnant with my ODS during that time, and I'm ready to pop with number 2 anytime now. The same people go there and we even had several parties there over the years. But last night, everyone felt it okay (except for my friend and the bartender) to suddenly start making rude comments!!!

"Oh my God! Why is it whenever we see you, you're always pregnant?!" You saw me here last week...and the week before that, and the week before that...

"You guys need to seriously SLOW DOWN!" Even the bartender looked at them like "They're on number 2, not 8!"

And it continued for a good 45 minutes while my two year old ate his french fries and my husband just stared at the table. If I wasn't so hormonal and also we've known these people for years, I would have decked them. To be honest, I was more shocked that they were saying this stuff! Then when they killed that horse, they started talking about two friends of mine that apparently they hooked up with six months ago, referring to a very dear friend of mine as "The fat one!" Are you kidding me?! What the hell are you saying about me behind my back? Considering what you just said to my face?!

Sorry for the vent, but I'm curious, does a huge pregnant belly just invite people to forget ALL of their manners? Do they go temporarily dumb? WTF?!

I was, but I didn't want to be seen as the 'Crazy pregnant bitch' after all that. Besides, as I said, I was more in shock that they had the audacity to just keep piling onto each other. Plus I know my husband was trying not to start anything since he is friends with the owner and sometimes bounces there. I know he didn't want to cause a scene.

They're obviously drunk, and yes, pregnancy causes others to lose their minds and all sense of decency. It's not the pregnant woman that's "out of control" or "hormonal," it's douche bag comments from the socially inept that seemingly change women.

Anyone who needs to insult you about a choice you make is most likely jealous...

Anyone who needs to insult you about a choice you make is most likely jealous. People that aren't don't feel the need to insult someone as much.

That's a very good point. Because the only people I've seen these rude ones going out with in the past two years have been typical low-lifes. Maybe they are jealous. Like I said, it was the same people we see there every week who always grab a beer and a fish fry after work, and it has become a nice little respite for us all. So I was completely shocked that out of all that time, they decided to unleash the Kraken on me.

I would say "Because I like to have babies!" and "Why slow down? I'm only getting older!" But I would mean it. =P

When I was pregnant with #2, my husband's co-workers started calling him a rabbit and giving him rabbit things for his desk, because we apparently reproduced like rabbits, having two kids. lol He doesn't work there anymore, but I would love to go in pregnant with #5. ;)

Geez! First of all two years is a totally normal age gap, second of all two kids is a totally normal number and third of all even if either of those things wasn't normal what business is it of theirs?!? Very annoying.
